Mrs Mandy-Leigh Samaria Van Aswegen
Registered Counselor
“I completed my Bpsych (Hons) at SACAP (South African College of Applied Psychology) where I trained at various placements, JPCCC (Johannesburg Parent and Child Counselling Centre), Fight with Insight, SADAG (South African Depression and Anxiety Group).”
About Me
As a Registered Counselor, I help individuals and families navigate life's challenges. My B.Psych training included placements at JPCCC, Fight with Insight, and SADAG. This diverse experience built a strong foundation for supporting parents, youth, and those managing anxiety. I offer a supportive space to explore your feelings and develop practical ways forward. You'll find a grounded approach to help you gain clarity and build resilience.
Approach
That grounded approach shapes how I work with you, keeping sessions steady and focused so we can untangle difficult feelings and practical problems together. In my Wellington practice and online, in Afrikaans or English, we set clear, manageable steps during sessions and use brief check-ins between meetings when helpful to track progress. The work often blends gentle pacing with targeted techniques to regulate overwhelm and rebuild routines after loss, trauma or conflict. This way of working suits parents, young people and adults seeking clarity and calmer days.
